12 DAYS OF ICE CREAM (DAY 4): DID YOU KNOW: THE STATUE OF LIBERTY LOVES ICE CREAM

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

It’s true (sort of). While we’re not sure if the Statue of Liberty likes ice cream – she’s from France, so she might prefer French Vanilla – we do know that ice cream was served to immigrants arriving at Ellis Island in 1921. It’s sort of flattering that their first taste of America was ice cream.

Like we always say, “The road to the American Dream starts with a bowl of Vanilla Bean.” (That’s our attempt at a rhyme and it didn’t work so well. It’s a good thing we make ice cream instead of poetry!)
